Template:Base point It is a filter that filters a potential enemy entity by a set of criteria.

Keyvalues

Name/Classname ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>
The classname or entity name to filter by. If the filter mode is Allow, only entities whose class name matches the given string will pass the filter. If the filter mode is Disallow, all entities EXCEPT those whose class name matches the given string will pass the filter.
Radius ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>
Radius by which to test the proximity of the enemy. If the filter mode is Allow, only entities whose distance is equal to or closer than the radius will pass the filter. If the filter mode is Disallow, all entities outside the radius will pass the filter.
Outer Radius ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>
Enemies outside this radius are considered invalid if Allow is set and valid if Disallow is set.
Max Squadmates Per Enemy ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>
Maximum number of squadmates allowed to target any given entity.

BaseFilter:

Filter mode (Negated) <boolean>
Inverts the filter, making the specified criteria fail and all others pass.

Flags

  • 1 : Do not lose target if already aquired but filter failed.

Inputs

BaseFilter:

TestActivator <variantRedirectInput/variant>
Tests the entity that called the input (the !activator) against the filter, and fires either the OnPass or OnFail output. (the parameter it takes is unused)
Icon-Bug.pngBug:Calling this input will cause the server to crash if the !activator entity no longer exists. Do not use this input to test any entities which may be asynchronously deleted, such as players or projectiles, or in an i/o chain which might be initiated by entity deletion, such as the OnEndTouch output of a trigger.

Outputs

BaseFilter:

OnPass
OnFail
!activator = activator of TestActivator input
!caller = this entity
One of these will fire when TestActivator input is sent, depending on if the activator is allowed by the filter or not.
